City Construction Plans and the Patriarch's Assignments

The Third Tier "Crystal Stone" mine was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for the Kong Household.

I originally thought that there were only Second Tier "Shoushan Stone" veins on this highest peak, but I never expected there to be such a surprise at the bottom of the mountain.

Clearly, the Third Tier Demon Beast, the Stone Disc Turtle, had consumed a large amount of Third Tier "Crystal Stone" ore, and it was already showing signs of transforming into another Fourth Tier Demon Beast, the "Crystal Turtle." That's why it had mastered the "burrowing" ability, which was not unique to the Stone Disc Turtle.

However, for the Kong Household, the discovery of this Third Tier "Crystal Stone" vein has three main benefits.

One benefit is that the Kong Household will be able to sell an additional Third Tier spiritual material in the future. When the Lineage needs Spirit Stone and other resources, they can sell this Third Tier "Crystal Stone" spirit ore in exchange for Spirit Stone and resources.

It should be noted that "Crystal Stone" spirit ore contains the power of both water and earth elements, and often has unique uses in many aspects, such as planting, refining weapons, setting up formations, and building cities. It is quite popular in the market and can fetch a considerable price.

The second advantage is that this "Crystal Stone" spirit ore is suitable for building cities, especially since it is extremely compatible with the "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation," Third Tier treasure formation that the Kong Household plans to set up in this territory.

After all, both primarily utilize the power of water and earth elements.

Originally, in Kong Wenxuan and others' plan, the main material for building "Peacock City" in this place where mountains and rivers meet was to select "Shoushan Stone", a spiritual material produced in the highest peak.

The greatest characteristic and advantage of "Shoushan Stone" is that it can withstand the test of time. A city built with "Shoushan Stone" as the main material does not need to worry about the erosion and damage caused by the passage of time, and can remain as solid as when it was first built.

This can be considered a decent building material.

However, in the cultivation world, most cultivators usually use this "Shoushan Stone" spiritual material to build their tombs. By casting their tombs with "Shoushan Stone" and hiding them underground, they do not have to worry about their tombs being eroded or destroyed over time.

However, now that a better Third Tier "Crystal Stone" vein has been discovered at the foot of this mountain and deep in the lake.

Kong Wenxuan and the others immediately abandoned their original city-building plan and chose to build the city with this "Crystal Stone" without hesitation.

This is not only because the "Crystal Stone" vein at the bottom of the lake is of the Third Tier, surpassing the Second Tier "Shoushan Stone" vein in the highest peak, but also because using it to build the city will make the "Peacock City" more solid and powerful.

Furthermore, the "Crystal Stone" ore contains the power of both water and earth elements, and its compatibility with the "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation" far exceeds that of the "Shoushan Stone" ore, which only contains the power of the earth element.

At that time, the power of the "Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation" will be maximized, greatly increasing the protective power of "Peacock City" and making it safer.

The Second Elder, Kong Changlan, and the Second Aunt Kong Yujin, remained at the bottom of the lake, at the "Crystal Stone" mine, to study the "Crystal Stone" ore and to research new city-building and formation plans.

After all, the original city-building and formation plan was based on the Second Tier spiritual material "Shoushan Stone" mine. Now that it has been changed to the Third Tier "Crystal Stone" mine, many changes and adjustments are naturally required.

The third advantage is that this "Crystal Stone" spiritual material can also be used for cultivating the Kong Household's "Five Elements True Scripture," and can even be used to refine the "Black Water Divine Sword," the "Yellow Earth Divine Sword," or the "Black Water Talisman Slip" and the "Yellow Earth Talisman Slips."

Once Kong Wenxuan advances to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage, he will at least have no shortage of Third Tier water and earth elemental spiritual materials to refine and upgrade the "Black Water Divine Sword" and "Yellow Earth Divine Sword".

It wasn't until dawn that the Second Elder and his second aunt, Kong Yujin, finally emerged from Crescent Moon Lake on their Stone Disc Turtle mounts and went ashore to join Kong Wenxuan and the others.

She took out dozens of "Crystal Stone" from her city Storage Bag. They were as big as millstones. Although they were still unprocessed, these "Crystal Stone" were already crystal clear. Reflecting the sunlight shining down from the sky, they immediately refracted a lot of dazzling light.

"So beautiful..." Second Elder Kong Changlan looked at the dazzling light scattered by the "Crystal Stone" ore under the sunlight, his face full of joy.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Kong Yushuo frowned and said, "These ' Crystal Stone ' are so beautiful, wouldn't using them to build a city be too eye-catching?"

Second Aunt Kong Yujin waved her hand and said, "It's alright. When the city is being built, we can simply process this ' Crystal Stone ' ore to cover up its dazzling colors and make it plain and unadorned. It will definitely not attract the attention of cultivators, Demon Beast, or Demon Race."

Upon hearing this, the eldest uncle nodded slightly and said no more.

"Alright, now that we've taken down the biggest threat, the Third Tier Stone Disc Turtle Demon Beast, and unexpectedly discovered Third Tier ' Crystal Stone ' spirit ore at the bottom of the lake, our initial objective has been achieved."

"Next, I'll assign the tasks."

As clan chief Kong Changgeng spoke, he first looked at the second elder and the second aunt, and said:

"Second brother, Yujin, your next task is to study this newly developed ' Crystal Stone ' mine and design a new city-building and strategic deployment plan. This is related to the safety of our Kong Household's future ancestral home, ' Peacock City,' and cannot be taken lightly."

"Yes, Chieftain!"

Second Kong Yujin solemnly agreed.

Second Elder Kong Changlan waved his hand and said, "Clan leader, don't worry. This ' Crystal Stone ' ore is more compatible with the ' Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation.' Using it to build a city and set up an array will only make it easier and safer. Changing the plan is very easy."

"The only problem now is that the ' Crystal Stone ' vein is at the bottom of the lake, making it extremely difficult to mine. It seems the only way to mine it is by relying on the Stone Disc Turtle to control the beasts."

"However, using the ' Black Tortoise Command ' to control the Stone Disc Turtle is too taxing on Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness; a Foundation Establishment cultivator simply cannot sustain it for long..."

"It seems I must first set up the ' Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation ' and use the formation to activate the ' Black Tortoise Command ' to direct the Stone Disc Turtle to mine the ' Crystal Stone ' vein."

"However, if we do this, after we use ' Crystal Stone ' ore to build the city, the ' Mountain and Water Layered Waves Formation ' that we've already set up will probably have to be rearranged again... I need to study this carefully."

Seeing this, the clan chief nodded and said, "This matter is not urgent; you can take your time to study it."

As he spoke, he looked at Kong Wenxuan and said, "Wenxuan, your task is to clear out all the Second Tier Demon Beast in this mountain range. You don't need to worry about the remaining First Tier Demon Beast; leave them to the cultivators of the clan, as well as the cultivators of the Yan Household, Ma Household, and other servant cultivation Lineage to deal with later."

"And we don't need to worry about the Demon Beast in Crescent Moon Lake. With the Stone Disc Turtle Demon Beast there, we can try raising the Demon Beast in the lake and make them a major industry for the Lineage in the future."

"No problem." Kong Wenxuan immediately agreed. He had already figured out the locations of the Second Tier Demon Beast in this mountain range when he first came here with his uncle to explore. Killing these Second Tier Demon Beast would not take much effort for him.

"Yushuo." At this moment, the clan leader looked at his eldest uncle and said, "The two of us are responsible for returning to the Lineage and bringing over the cultivators from the clan, as well as the Yan Household, Ma Household, Yun Household, who are in charge of the war."

"The area within a thousand miles around this place will henceforth belong to our Kong Household's ' Peacock County,' and we will need them to expand and clear it out."

"Okay!" Uncle Kong Yushuo readily agreed.
